Arid soil is known to be the soil of the desert. Some of its astonishing features include:
• Evaporation is faster due to lack of moisture and humus
• Due to increase in calcium content, lower horizons of soil get occupied by pebbles
• The formation of pebble layer restricts infiltration of water
• Evaporation is faster due to lack of moisture and humus
• Due to increase in calcium content, lower horizons of soil get occupied by pebbles
• The formation of pebble layer restricts infiltration of water

HEY!!
▶Arid Soils are generally sandy in texture and saline in nature. In some areas the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water.
▶Due to the dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture.
▶The lower horizons of the soil are occupied by Kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards. The Kankar layer formations in the bottom horizons restrict the infiltration of water.
